Our first monophonic analogue synthesiser, BassStation featured the same filter as the Wasp, plus flexible DCO oscillators and a warm analogue signal path that defined countless dance and electronic hits.

One important feature of the Supernova was the provision of multiple effects units which could be assigned to each timbre, allowing a much richer sound than had generally been possible with a multitimbral synthesiser.

Used by: Orbital, ATB, The Faint, Sin, Jean Michel Jarre and A Guy Called Gerald.

A Station

A cross between BassStation and Supernova, A-Station came with eight-voice polyphony, a basic FM synthesis engine, reverb and delay, plus a 12-voice vocoder and arpeggiator.

Mininova

The most powerful sound engine and effects of any micro synth, MiniNova gives you easy access to almost limitless variations of every sound, which you can subtly tweak or totally warp with the twist of a knob or the touch of a button.

Nothing out there sounds as warm, fat and dirty as the Bass Station II pure analogue monosynth, with enhanced modulation, fully analogue effects and filters, and a new pattern-based arpeggiator and step sequencer.

Used by: alt-J, Radiophonic Workshop, The Horrors, Claude Von Stroke, TV on the Radio and Dark Sky

Morodernova

Peak

Our eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesiser with three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice. The oscillators sound completely analogue by being high-quality NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators), but gain the flexibility of the digital domain with 17 digital wavetables. Peak has a resonant multi-mode analogue filter for each voice, and three distortion points in an analogue signal chain.
